Hundreds paid their respects for Jane Kulich and Virginia "Ginny" Sorenson, two of the six victims tragically killed in the Christmas parade tragedy, as their memorial services were held Saturday.
Bridge Church hosted a celebration of life service for Kulich, 52, followed by a memorial gathering. Kulich's loved ones spoke to a crowded and tearful Bridge Church room, with flowers lining the front. Photos of Kulich played on a slideshow to her favorite worship songs. The celebration of life ended with the room singing along to Kulich's favorite Christmas song, Silent Night, as the words played across the screen.
Kulich was a beloved wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, dear sister, and adored aunt, further survived by other loved relatives and many friends, according to an obituary posted online.
